Tip

If you press Ctrl+Enter instead of just Enter, you can surround whatever you’ve just typed into the
address bar with https://www. and .com. See Chapter 9 for even more address shortcuts along
these lines.

A search phrase. If you type some text into this strip that isn’t
obviously a web address, then Windows assumes you’re telling it,
“Go online and search for this phrase.” From here, it works exactly

as though you’d typed into the address/search bar of Microsoft
Edge.

A folder name. You can also type one of several important folder
names into this strip, such as This PC, Documents, Music, and so
on. When you press Enter, that particular folder window opens.

Tip

This window has AutoComplete. That is, if you type pi and then press Tab, the address bar
completes the word Pictures for you. (If it guesses wrong, press Tab again.)

A program or path name. This provides another way to open

files, if you know where they’re located. To open the family budget
spreadsheet that’s in Monica’s Documents folder, you might type
C:\Users\Monica\Documents\familybudget.xls.

In each case, as soon as you begin to type, a pop-up list of recently visited
websites, files, or folders appears below the address bar. Windows is trying

to save you some typing. If you see what you’re looking for, click it with
the mouse, or press the key to highlight the one you want, and then press

Enter.
